Gene Nocon, world renowned photographer, passed away as the result of a heart attack on November 20.
Gene was declared International Photographer of the Year in1980 by Ilford Photo. If not the first, he was the first to become known for his Lith Prints. From his marvelous mathematical brain evolved the Nocon Timer which has been emulated, but never surpassed.
Gene was known in the local San Diego community for his selfish presentations in his studio one Friday each month. He was known in Great Briatin as Photographer to Prince Andrew, the maker of the Prince Andrew and Fergie stamp image and a Fellow in the RPS.
He will be missed in the local and international community.
Farewell friend.
